What Makes a
Great Submission?
We’ve featured thousands of weddings over the years, and the ones that connect most with our readers tend to have a few things in common. Here are some helpful pointers to make sure your story really shines.
Curated Images
Select 20-50 of your top images with a focus on details, special moments, and story-telling. We look for images that capture the full day—from getting ready through the celebration—including:
- Getting ready moments
- Close-up details (rings, invites, florals, etc.)
- Fashion shots (gown, tux, accessories)
- Venue exteriors + interiors
- Candid celebration shots
- Décor, food, drinks, and cake
- Couple portraits
- Fun or unexpected photo concepts
Tell Your Story
Your photos show what happened - your story tells us why it mattered. A few paragraphs about your vision, your favorite moments, and any meaningful touches help make the submission feel personal and relatable.
- The inspiration behind your design
- Special touches and personalized details
- What made your celebration unique
Credit Your Vendors
Give credit where it's due! Sharing vendor credits is a great way to celebrate the team behind your day. Include your photographer, venue, planner, and anyone else who made the magic happen.
- Say thank you to everyone who made your day magical
- Help other couples discover amazing vendors
- Increase your chances of being featured
